Start off your 2016 Holiday Season shopping by visiting the Chesapeake Holiday Craft Show at the Chesapeake Conference Center on November 19th and 20th. A variety of unique, handmade crafts will be showcased from crafters all over Hampton Roads and beyond! We welcome your little ones to visit us in our Children's Workshop room where they will be able to make crafts that they can take home. Kids Run Trains will also be on hand to demonstrate their awesome trains. Of course, we'll have SANTA CLAUS visits from 12:30-3:00 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday (Parents, bring your camera!). Chessie, the Parks, Recreation and Tourism mascot, will also be around and available for pictures on both days. Concessions will be available for purchase.

Come early and check-out the delightfully distinctive gift baskets at the Arts Alive! Chesapeake!-Friends of the Arts table in the lobby. Proceeds from the Friends of the Arts baskets benefit Chesapeake students, ages 12-19, in the annual visual and performing arts competition, ARTS ALIVE!, which takes place in February each year.
